Would you have carried a weapon in medieval Oxford for personal protection?

No, I’d rather be dead than live in England.

The weather would kill you anyway.
Very cool! I listen to this, while, getting ready for my retail job, and I educated a bunch of customers who came in, a lot of people come in for shopping to go to England

@deborahbrottmiller2948, Thank you for the thoughtful comment. This episode revealed another reason why medieval times are fascinating!
Whew! When I lived in Washington, D.C., in the 1980s, the nation's capital was also called "the murder capital" -- but it was a lightning bug next to lightning compared with Oxford. (I live outside the city now, and I can assure you that it's much safer, cleaner, and friendlier these days.)

@ninjahammers, Thank you for the compliment! We are pleased that you appreciated this episode.
I think that the university definitely contributed to the homicide rate. Drinking culture and youths that had the thirst for "amusement " have made this the murder capital in England
